Abstract

A communications network comprises two or more cell sites for communication with wireless terminals. At least one of the cell sites has multiple receive antennas (43, 44). A central site has one or more interface controllers (25) and a switch system (12) through which the controllers are connected to the cell sites. For each controller in communication with a wireless terminal, a cell site is selected for reception of signals from the terminal, and for each selected cell site having more than one receive antenna, an antenna within the site is selected for reception from the terminal.
